When it comes to pizza, we learned, Dallasites have a lot of opinions. A few weeks ago we offered up a list of 25 nominees in our readers' poll for D-FW's favorite pizza place. Not surprisingly, many people quibbled with our list, and as the competition went on, people had much to say about the candidates.

By a huge margin, the most popular write-in nominee was Tutta's, a Dallas-based gourmet pizza food truck. Some of the comments in favor of Tutta's:

"Their pizza sauce is the best I have ever had. The crust is incredible. And what do they put on top? Well slow smoked, hand pulled meats of course! Not only do these guys make the best pizza in DFW, They do it with a huge disadvantage. They make it from scratch out of a truck." -- Aaron Stouder, Dallas

"Tutta's is awesome in a box. They are easily the best DFW food truck and quite possibly the best pizza." -- Golf Tutor

Local chain i Fratelli also got more than a few write-in votes from loyal fans.

"I haven't lived in Dallas in years but grew up in New Jersey, lived in Manhattan and so I know pizza and I still miss i Fratelli's." -- Rich Burlingham

People had a lot to say about Dallas classic Campisi's, which was the top vote-getter in the first round and made it to the Top 4.

"Was first introduced to Campisi's in 1962.....Fabulous!!! The best Italian food, ever!" -- Beverly Wysong Johnson

"Who on earth is voting for Campisi's?! Did you people lose your taste buds in a freak chemical accident? Cane Rosso clearly has the best pizza in town. It's not even close." -- Matt Lindner, Waco

"Campisi's? They're well known, and the food is pretty good, but they're a family Italian restaurant, not pizza maestroes. The advent of Dallas's cosmopolitan dining culture, and the culinary hyper-specialization that has come with it has left Campisi's behind. No one who has actually had authentic buffalo mozzarella margarita pizza from Dough Pizzeria or Campania, or the Brooklyn style from Coal Vine's can choose Campisi's over them." -- Bill Foreman

Here's a roundup of comments about various other pizza joints:

"Valentino's in Rowlett has the best pizza I have ever had! They load it with veggies and the crust tastes like their rolls." -- Karen Simpson Shepherd

"The fact that Durkins pizza isn't in this group and urban crust is, just shows its rigged." -- Scott Schueler

"How could you miss Johnny's Pizza House in Addison? They have the best Sweep the Swamp and Sweep the Kitchen pizza EVER! If you haven't tried them out you have NOOOO IDEA what you're missing!" -- Staci Cobb Ojeda

"Ferrari's Pizzeria is by far the best pizza in DFW!!!! I have (managed) three pizza places in upstate New York and know good pizza when I taste it. Whether it is just a plain pie of one of teh amazing specials they make they are the best around." -- Nathan Setzer

"Louie's on Henderson...dive bar with the best thin crust pizza in Dallas. DELICIOUS! You almost know that Campisi's is going to win because of their reputation and number of restaurant. But it's far from the best pizza in Dallas these days." -- Richard Myers

And finally, we got one write-in vote that just made us laugh, from John Gilbert of Forney: "Totino's, located in the frozen food section of most grocery stores."

No judgment here, Mr. Gilbert. I put away many, many sodium-laden slices of Totino's back in my college days.
